The exhaust will last longer than your tattoo I'm pretty certain.

How long of a wait until Xbox1/PS4?

Are there any diecast FRS models that are Ultramarine?

I would probably trust a refurb PS3 more, but it is an extra $50. Tough choice. Since you're asking, i'll assume the price difference isn't an issue. I'd get the PS3, especially if it's the 1st gen PS3.

Despite it's weight, the 300 isn't that bad at stopping.

I just got stumped... my bimmer loves burning oil as of late, I've already replaced all the seals and it ain't leaking, I replaced the PCV valve about a year or 2 ago, and I just did a compression test and got 190+ PSI across all cylinders, the head gasket is fine as well (no chocolate milk oil)

Anyone got any bright ideas?

is your oil...Jewish?

Headgaskets doing okay? Valve cover?

Maybe...

Headgasket is perfect, otherwise I would have oil and coolant mixing (Symptom numero 1 for headgasket failure on an M54 engine)

Valve cover and gasket are about a year old (the original cover cracked...)

May just try replacing the CCV valve... again... what a PITA...

a Quart between 750 and 1000 miles is just ridiculous!

Got home from 86Fest... I am exhausted... I wanna hit the bed, but before that, I need to go through 300~400 photos I've taken.

Gonna be long night...

If your engine is Egyptian I would be concerned...

I'll have to check. I thought they were all made in Japan, but I would end up with the one Egyptian one in existance, then load it down with disgruntled Jewish slave oil. Ah, mechanical issues...

Did Mizuno-san take a direct stab at Tada-san in this statement???

He says, "Anyone that tells me that a good car is light, with a low power-to-weight ratio, is an amateur." and then he does this shifty eyes thing and looks kinda at the camera...

lol, the Kings of Japan seem to have some beef...

So Monday I spent 8 hours of my day in a 2 man canoe, fishing. 16 feet of floating real estate to myself was luxurious. The sunburn is starting to huuuurt. D:

I went to Nashville on Friday. I found some time to sit in the used BRZ limited at the Subaru dealership.

It was pretty cramped inside. The seat was lowered all the way and the steering wheel as high up as possible. I moved the seat until I was comfortable and there was less than 3" of leg room in the back. Which wasn't too surprising. What is surprising is how close my knees were to the steering column. :/ Any further back and I couldn't comfortably press the clutch down all the way. I'm only 6' so I dunno.

Am I sitting too far forward?
